Show HN: I built a free tool to clean up and export your Kindle highlights

Hey HN,

Last weekend I built a small web app called ClipVault to solve a personal itch — cleaning up my Kindle highlights from the My Clippings.txt file. Nothing fancy, straight to the point.

The app runs locally in your browser (nothing gets uploaded), and lets you:

- Import your Kindle’s My Clippings.txt via drag & drop

- Easily remove duplicates, headers, and unwanted clutter

- View your highlights sorted by book

- Export them to Obsidian (Markdown), Evernote (.enex), or CSV

It's completely free, private, and requires no login. Just open the page and get to work.

I’m not trying to monetize this or anything — I just figured others might find it useful too. If you use Obsidian, Evernote, or just like keeping your reading notes tidy, I’d love to know what you think.

Please let me know if you I missed anything or you encounter issues while trying it.

Cheers
